Abstract
A magneto strictive sterilizable handpiece () with an electric connector () selectively engageable with a power cable includes a non-conducting inner core () having an outer surface, a conducting wire deposited on the outer surface of the inner core in a helical manner to form a coil () with a first end functioning as a first electrical contact and a second end functioning as second electrical contact, and an over-mold layer () deposited over the conducing wire to substantially completely seal the coil, so that the over-mold layer prevents a fluid from contacting any section of the conducting wire except for the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact during sterilization of the handpiece using the fluid.
